WANT BIG FEES.
Attorneys Charges In the Pan-EIec-
trio Suits-What the Government Is
Asked to Pay.

CHICAGO, June IA special to the News
from Washington says: The indications are
that the bills Of the government counsel in
the Pan Electric Telephone suits will prove
as startling as those that were filed by the
lawyers engaged ON the part of the govern
ment in the Star Route trials. There are six
lawyers engaged on the part of the govern
ment, including Thurman Of Ohio. Lowery
of New York, Goode of Virginia, and
Chandler Huntoon and Whitman of Wash
ington.
Up to the present time these gentlemen
have received from the government for fees
and expenses total of about S50,C00. 1t is
estimated by the accounting officers Of the
Treasury that the total amount of the bills,
before the suits are brought to a close, will
be at least S130,0co.
Judge Lowery has thus far valued his
time at S15 an hour for every one Of the "a
of each day since his employment began.
Mr.. Goode has received as much for his
counsel and advice in this case as a years
salary as Solicitor General. The average
compensation of each of the lawyers en-
ployed has been about $1,000 to date, and the
suits are scarcely yet begun.

The Biscuit Unpopular with savages.
New York SUM-


Capt. Lista, the latest explorer of Terra
del Fuego, has, in the interests Of science
been applying the biscuit test to some of the
natives there. 1t is known that few savages
unless they have long been acquainted with
the whites, can eat the BISCUIT Of civilization
without unpleasant qualms. When Darwin
was in Terra del Fuego the natives he met
ate his biscuits with ayidity, but white men
were not strangers to them, and three or four
of them had even been to Europe, Capt.
Lista and his biscuits were novelties where
he happened to land. The Captain was at
first target for arrows, but the natives f.
nally voted him good fellow and accepted
his biscuits.
They could not digest them, however. and
as the considerate creatures disliked to hurt
the white mans feelings, they threw the bis
cults into the grass when they thought he
was not looking.
